Overweight
If your weight is causing you problems, you're not alone. Nearly 60% of Canadian adults are overweight or obese, causing growing concern for this important risk factor associated with heart disease and stroke.
Reaching and maintaining a healthy weight, you can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke while controlling for other health problems like hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes.
But in our hectic lives, it is not always easy to find time to eat well and be active. To help you get started, we have prepared a plan in three easy steps:
1. Make your self
2. Eat healthily
3. Be physically active
Read our tips to help you, your children and you, maintain a healthy weight.
1. Make your self
Waist size
Men with a waist circumference greater than 102 cm (40 inches) and women whose waist circumference exceeds 88 cm (35 inches) are more likely to suffer from health problems like heart disease, the hypertension or diabetes. For persons of Chinese or South Asian, the risks are high even for a smaller waist circumference: 90 cm (35 inches) for men and 80 cm (32 inches) for women.
BMI
To determine if you are in the range of healthy weight, you might want to consult the tool called Body Mass Index (or BMI). The BMI is the ratio between the size and weight and can involve a range of more weight to a healthy weight rather than a single ideal. Find out whether your weight makes you prone to diseases associated with obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and strokes.
2. Eat healthily
In terms of food, the secret lies in the variety. Try a variety of nutritious foods that can prevent disease and who have good taste. To create balanced meals with reasonable portions, follow the Food Guide to Healthy Eating.
3. Be physically active
There are several important reasons to incorporate physical activity into your life. This is an excellent way to maintain a healthy weight, reduce high blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, manage stress and reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. The heart and Stroke Foundation recommends that Canadians integrate work into their daily lives. Just 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week is sufficient.
Consult Canada's Physical Activity Guides to Healthy Active Living.
Tips for keeping a healthy weight:
* Eat a healthy diet and physical activity
* Lose weight gradually. Achieving a healthy weight is a long-term commitment
* Avoid fad diets
* Adopt a diet containing less saturated and trans fats and more vegetables and fruits, complex carbohydrates and foods high in fiber
* Use less fat for cooking. Cook your food in the oven, grilled, steamed, water or on the barbecue
* Check the size of your portions. Divide your plate into four sections. Fill in the three quarters of grain and vegetables and the remaining quarter with meat or meat substitutes
* If you tend to compensate with food, identify the source of your stress and learn new ways to cope

Living with advanced cancer
You may hear health professionals use different terms to describe cancer that has progressed beyond the early stages, they could talk to advanced cancer, secondary, metastatic, or terminal phase.We define advanced cancer as a cancer cure is unlikely.
Redeeming the new
You may be the impression of being completely overwhelmed. "At first, you're completely numb and unable to think. Then it seems that everything starts to go very fast around you. "
You do not particularly like to do if everything went well, or try to hide or ignore what you feel. It is not uncommon to go through various emotions that come and go at different times:
* Shock and disbelief - as if time had stopped for you.
* Anger - against yourself, your family, doctors, the whole world, your god or simply the inevitable cons. That anger may result from the loss of control of your life but can also lead you to blame others for what happens to you.
* Anxiety (insecurity), and fear, for example death or effects of cancer treatments.
* Sadness and grief - you may be sad losses that the illness requires you (you must surrender your physical ability, your job or travel, for example). Or you feel a mourning in advance, so that you project in the death ahead.
* Denial - you may reject the diagnosis or what the doctors tell you about your illness.
* Guilt and regret - in retrospect, you may want to be what you would or should not have done throughout your life.
* Depression - for example if you feel sad, have more hope and crying constantly. Such states of mind, they are growing, extend or begin to take over your thoughts and your life, can be signs of clinical depression. You should know that depression can be treated.
Over time, you might be able to accept what happens to you - that is, acknowledging that cancer is incurable and likely to result in death. Accepting the disease, it is not renounce life. This allows you instead to take the reins of your life and you focus on what is most important to you.

factors of thyroid cancer
Risk factors of thyroid cancer:
Why a person will suffer from cancer of the thyroid and the other not? The medicine just a little to identify the causes of such unfairness. However, some risk factors have been updated. Discover them with Prof. Jean-Louis Wémeau, president of the Thyroid Research Group. On the occasion of the first multidisciplinary meetings on thyroid cancer, Prof. Jean-Louis Wémeau Chief of Endocrinology, CHU of Lille and president of the Thyroid Research Group, gave an update on risk factors cancers of the thyroid. However, note that these cancers are rare (about 3800 cases per year).
Irradiation:
Irradiation of the thyroid during childhood is the main risk factor and even the only known cause. Irradiation may be external (used to treat another illness) or when contamination (ingestion or inhalation) by radioactive iodine. The studies (monitoring of children survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, those exposed to nuclear testing during and after the Chernobyl accident) seem to have shown that only children under 15 years are susceptible to the carcinogenic action radiation. Among them, the risk is even greater than the dose is high. The radiation therapy (for blood cancers in particular) multiplied by two or three the risk of nodules (hard body and rounded) and among them the risk of cancer. Regarding metabolic radiotherapy with 131 used in the treatment of certain thyroid diseases (using a radioactive isotope that will bind preferentially to the gland), no increased risk was observed in adults.
"After the Chernobyl accident, about 3000 children under 15 present in utero or in the womb at the time of the explosion, have developed such radiation-induced cancers. But it don ' there is no scientific argument that leads to think that the increased incidence of thyroid cancer among adults, seen in Europe as in every country in the world, has any connection with the accident at Chernobyl, "says Prof. Wémeau.
Familial predisposition:
Between 3 and 5% of patients with papillary thyroid cancer (which represent 70% of tumors of the thyroid) have a parent with her own cancer of the thyroid but no genetic marker has been identified. In addition, 25-30% of medullary carcinomas (representing 7% of thyroid tumors) are familial forms in connection with a constitutional mutation of a gene (the gene Ret). Rare genetic diseases are also associated with thyroid cancer: colonic polyposis, Gardner syndrome, Carney, Cowden.
Age, hormonal factors and gender:
The majority of thyroid cancers reported between 30 and 50 years. Women are two to four times more affected than men with cancer of the thyroid. The origin of this sexual inequality is due to hormonal factors specific to women, as well as pregnancies that promote the formation of goiter and thyroid nodules.
Pre-existing thyroid disease:
Assume that the number of thyroid cancer is higher in carriers of goiter, Graves' disease and also when thyroid hormone levels of TSH present chronically too high.
Load iodine:
It is known that iodine deficiency may promote the onset of thyroid disease but it does seem that there's a connection between dietary iodine and the occurrence of thyroid cancer. "However, the increased load iodine reduces the prevalence of gallbladder cancer, the benefit of papillary cancers, easier to handle," says Professor Jean-Louis Wémeau.
Overweight:
An increase in thyroid cancer has been reported in cases of overweight, including Hawaii. However, further studies should confirm such a link. While alcohol and tobacco are important risk factors for most cancers, no association was found with cancers of the thyroid. But many questions remain regarding these factors. Further studies should quantify the possible influence of air pollutants such as benzene, chlorinated derivatives.

Tomatoes can they prevent cancer
Tomatoes can they prevent cancer?
To protect against cancer, eat tomatoes!
We now know, the tomato has lycopene, which are part of the family of carotenoids, which could have significant impact to strengthen our immune system and thereby help prevent the risk of cancer. Lycopene is known as a good way to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, but could also help reduce the risk of other cancers through its action on enzymes to promote tissue growth.
Tomatoes should be regarded as a food anti-cancer, and part of the diet recommended for cancer prevention.
Carotenes (or more broadly carotenoids) contained in tomatoes are not the only anticancer agents of the tomato. Indeed, the phytoene and phytofluene are others contained in this vegetable and having a beneficial effect in preventing prostate cancer in particular.
Indeed, an American experiment carried out on laboratory rats showed that rats fed tomato extracts were better protected from cancer through the accumulation, especially in the liver and prostate, these carotenes.
The anti-cancer tomatoes are increasingly demonstrated in preventing prostate cancer, stomach and lung, but the wealth of this vegetable vitamins, especially A and C to explain the benefits in take to prevent other cancers such as pancreatic, esophageal, breast and cervix.
Eat tomato sauce!
Studies show that it is much better to eat a whole tomato rather than a dietary supplement containing carotene, because the tomato will be more complete, especially if it does not contain residual pesticides. To be sure, eat organic tomatoes!
Cooked or raw, you can eat tomatoes in salads, in pasta or sauces. The tomato sauce is ideal because it contains a concentrated tomato lycopene and then. Consuming cooked tomatoes is even better because the heat increases the number of Lycopene!
Eat regular tomato sauce (about 2 times per week) is reduced by 20% the risk of developing prostate cancer. But beware! 100% tomatoes Tomato sauce, not ketchup which have added sugar or other added fat. You can cook yourself tomatoes with olive oil. This will promote the uptake of lycopene. Remember to put the garlic, which is a powerful antioxidant!

Take charge of your cholesterol
Take charge of your cholesterol: new guidelines
Get everything you can to control your cholesterol and decrease your risk of heart disease? Under the new guidelines on cholesterol and heart disease, you may have to undergo further medical tests or rethink your current treatment.
What are the new guidelines and why are they important to me?
The new guidelines of 2009 were made by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society. These guidelines are developed by physicians specializing in the fields of cholesterol and heart disease. These guidelines aim to inform physicians of the latest clinical data on the management of high cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart disease. These recommendations are based on evidence of more recent research on the treatment of cholesterol.
In light of these new guidelines, it is time to ask if your treatment is "on the ball. Ask your doctor if you need to pass new medical tests, starting up or rethinking your treatment or your current treatment goals Based on the new recommendations.
Here are some changes you may need to bring:
If you take medicine, ask your doctor if you should reassess your treatment goals and your treatment plan.
The new guidelines allow for easier set treatment goals:
LDL-C remains the most important target, which means that you and your doctor may need to change your goals and your treatment plan. The goal for all is to reduce LDL-C of at least 50%. Some of the new treatment targets.

Hypertension
Secrets of the tension:
Blood pressure is the pressure of blood in the arteries. Step missed any consultation, measuring the voltage remains mysterious. What do the two figures announced? When can we speak of hypertension? How does a blood pressure? Doctissimo an update on all these subjects that are important to you.
In the body, the arteries act as foster mothers. They carry blood from the heart to various body tissues and thus provide oxygen to cells essential to their survival. At each contraction of the heart, blood is expelled forcefully from the heart chambers and propelled into the ducts. To perform their function satisfactorily, they must remain flexible and unobstructed (free fatty deposits).
Diastolic and systolic:
The arrival of this wave has a blood pressure on the artery walls, as would the water flowing in a hose. This pressure to the contraction of the heart, or systolic, is the highest figure measured when taking blood. This is the systolic blood pressure. Systole occurs after a period of relaxation or diastole, during which the heart relaxes and fills. The pressure exerted by blood in the arteries is then lower. It corresponds to the lowest number, or diastolic blood pressure.
The art of the cuff:
It is these pressures that we consider when taking blood. Must become the instrument of any consultation, the monitor is composed of a cuff equipped with an inflatable sleeve connected to a manometer to measure pressure. Placed around the upper arm and inflated, the cuff stops the flow of blood through the artery of the arm (brachial artery).
The doctor raises his stethoscope over the artery, downstream of the cuff, it gradually deflates.
* When the cuff pressure exceeds the systolic blood pressure, blood does not flow and no sound is heard. When cuff pressure decreases, the blood begins to pass through the artery and rattled the walls, compressed by the device. Each heartbeat thus entails a regular sound, synchronous pulse.
